Overview

This episode features an original radio drama from the "Golden Age of Radio," following Simon Templar, aka The Saint (voiced by Vincent Price), as he unravels the case of a missing bridegroom, Jimmy Snyder. What starts as a heartbroken bride left at the altar quickly turns into a complex web of deception, two marriages, blackmail, and murder. With sharp wit and classic noir energy, Templar must decipher cryptic clues and uncover the truth behind Jimmy’s disappearance while facing eccentric characters and dangerous obstacles.

Key Discussion Points and Story Highlights

1. The Missing Bridegroom: The Setup

• [02:00] Carol Blair, distraught and in a bridal gown, rushes out of church having been left at the altar by her fiancé, Jimmy Snyder.

  • Key moment: “I love him. And we were going to get married and I went to the church and everybody was there except... Jimmy.” (Carol Blair, [02:31])

• Simon Templar meets Carol and offers to help, gently prodding about Jimmy’s possible cold feet, which she vehemently dismisses.

---

2. Suspicions and Social Climbing

• Carol is wealthy, and Simon wonders out loud if Jimmy’s interest in her was motivated by this.
• [04:52] Templar and his wisecracking cabbie, Louie, visit Jimmy’s apartment and meet Marie, a mysterious Frenchwoman.
• Marie reveals herself as Jimmy’s wife, not fully divorced:
  • “You said you were Jimmy’s wife.”
  • “It’s true. The lawyers say divorce not so good. So now Jimmy marry a rich girl. Maybe Jimmy gives me a big present.” (Marie and Templar, [07:47])

---

3. Danger Lurks: Blackmail and Assault

• Simon and Louie are waylaid by Dugan, a thug apparently involved in the case ([08:44]).
  • Dugan wants information about Jimmy and isn't afraid to use violence.
• The tension escalates as Dugan is later found shot and killed in Simon’s apartment ([14:49]).

---

4. A Web of Motives and Red Herrings

• [15:33] Simon and Louie confront Carol’s uncle, Theobold Blair, at her mansion—where family secrets and motives begin to unravel:
  • Theobold confirms Jimmy’s marriage to Marie and reveals he wanted the marriage between Jimmy and Carol to proceed for financial and possibly emotional reasons.

---

5. Clues Left in Blood

• [19:00] Simon and Louie discover Marie dying in her ransacked apartment.
  • Her dying clue: a torn magazine page featuring an ad for Hamilton Watches.
  • “She tore a page out...something about her murderer...maybe the guy who shot her was a watchmaker, huh?” (Louie, [19:33])
• Theobold Blair is nearly killed in a hit-and-run in the park ([22:14]), making it clear that someone is tying up loose ends.

---

6. The Reveal: Motives and Murderer Unmasked

• Simon finds Jimmy bound and gagged, realizing the setup is fake ([23:57]).
• Templar deduces Jimmy murdered Dugan (who was attempting to blackmail him), tried to kill Theobold, and murdered Marie to cover up his bigamy and maintain his access to Carol’s fortune.
  • “Jimmy didn’t care for the program and so he killed him.” (Simon Templar, [24:52])
• The Hamilton watch ad clue:
  • Marie was reading a book about Alexander Hamilton when first met; Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury.
  • She used "Hamilton" to point to the killer: Jimmy Snyder (the would-be ‘secretary’).

---

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

• [02:35] Carol Blair, heartbreakingly direct:
  “I know something terrible must have happened to him.”

• [07:00] Marie, on marrying for money:
  “One million dollar is not bad...maybe Jimmy gives me a big present.”

• [13:50] Simon’s Classic Understatement:
  “Men who have just been married usually spend the time immediately thereafter… No, no. He ducked the church.”

• [24:52] Simon explains the motive:
  “Jimmy didn’t care for the program and so he killed him… Jimmy tried to arrive. After he ran [Theobold] down in the park, he went to Theobold’s apartment and tied himself up. He knew someone would find him there shortly.”

• [25:25] Carol tries to comprehend Marie’s clue:
  “And everybody would have thought that uncle had killed Marie. And Dugan—Simon, however did you know [who] killed her?”

• [26:30] Louie, grasping the clue:
  “Look, in American history, who was Alexander Hamilton?”

  • Simon: “Alexander Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury… people ought to read American history.”

[Carol Blair]

What?

[Simon Templar]

[Carol Blair]

I'm not married.

[Simon Templar]

Look, you're all dressed up like your bride. You come running out of that church that was having.

[Carol Blair]

Oh, I want Jimmy.

[Simon Templar]

Please, lady, don't. Don't cry. If I had Jimmy, I'd give him to you. Who's Jimmy?

[Carol Blair]

I love him. And we were going to get married and I went to the church and everybody was there except.

[Simon Templar]

Except Jimmy. Mr. Templar, I hope you don't.

[Carol Blair]

I know something terrible must have happened to him.

[Simon Templar]

For a girl in your position. You know what I think you need?

[Carol Blair]

What?

[Simon Templar]

A saint. Ms. Blair, please. Mr. Templar, I hope you don't mind our barge. You didn't like this? Of course not, Louie. But you see, this here is.

[Carol Blair]

Oh, I'm Carol Blair.

[Simon Templar]

Uhuh. Ms. Blair. But by this time she's supposed to have been missing the possibility that he might have changed his Mr. Snyder didn't show up at the altar, so. Ms. Blair, please sit down.

[Carol Blair]

Thank you.

[Simon Templar]

Here, have a handkerchief.

[Carol Blair]

I don't want a handkerchief. I want Jimmy.

[Simon Templar]

Well, I don't have Jimmy. I might perhaps, can or not is something else again. However, have you thought of the possibility that he might have changed his mind about matrimony?

[Carol Blair]

Oh no, he wouldn't have. He loves me. Well, Mr. Tempter, there's nothing that could have kept Jimmy from marrying me. Nothing. Thank you for Bringing me home, Mr. Templar.

[Simon Templar]

You're very welcome, Carol.

[Carol Blair]

I'm sorry I cried so much.

[Simon Templar]

Well, I'll call you as soon as I have. And Mr. Templer. Yeah? Ms. Blair lives in a. In a very mansion. Fat mans. So she does. Well, let's go, Louie. Okay. Where to say so. That ain't what Ms. Carol. You think maybe he overslept? I doubt it, Mr. Templer. I read a book once so I wouldn't brood about it. Louis. Now listen, in this here book, a girl's fellow don't show up to marry her on account of his debt. You know, on account of somebody killed him. Oh, well thought, huh? So the girl says. Zounds. In those days girls used to say zounds. Yeah. That ain't what Ms. Carol Blair said. I guess she didn't read the book. Well, probably too busy clipping her coupons. Oh, she's loaded, huh? She is loaded.

[Carol Blair]

What?

[Simon Templar]

I wonder if that's what Jane Snyder thought, huh? Oh yeah. Ms. Blair told us he was broke. Yeah. Hey, I got the solution. Yes, Louis? Yeah, maybe he got a job. Ask him if he answers that doorbell. Now this here is a very fancy type hallway, Mr. Temple. So it is. Gaudy, but not neat. 1C. 1C. Maybe she's wise. How can a guy with no dough afford to live here? Well, we'll ask him if he answers that doorbell. Hey, he's in.

[Carol Blair]

Hello.

[Simon Templar]

Oh, except he's a she. Good evening. I'm afraid I am. Thank you, Mr. Templar. Maybe she's why Snyder didn't show up.

[Carol Blair]

I think we stop here. No.

[Simon Templar]

Yes, Miss?

[Carol Blair]

I am Marie.

[Simon Templar]

Oh, Marie, this is Louis.

[Carol Blair]

I'm not so long in this country. Ah, you are the same.

[Simon Templar]

I'm afraid I am spending the winter.

[Carol Blair]

Here in this apartment. For right now I am. Read the book, you see.

[Simon Templar]

Book on American history. Books? Why don't you ask graduated? Say, why the book then?

[Carol Blair]

Well, I'm not so long in this country and I wish to learn about the American people. American men.

[Simon Templar]

Oh, they're not that different from Frenchmen.

[Carol Blair]

Maybe so, but it's the little the groom do.

[Simon Templar]

They say things like perhaps, you know, there are better ways of learning than from books. Why don't you ask Jimmy?

[Carol Blair]

He is out.

[Simon Templar]

He is?

[Carol Blair]

Yes. He's marrying himself. Oh, it is not right what I'm saying. He is marrying a girl cares because you mind. I do not mind.

[Simon Templar]

Though sometimes close friends of the groom do. They say things like what on earth does he see in her?

[Carol Blair]

But I am knowing what he sees in her.

[Simon Templar]

Be careful.

[Carol Blair]

One million dollar is not bad. I am Jimmy.

[Simon Templar]

Whoop. Kitty. It's time for a very pretty girl too. Despite her million dollars.

[Carol Blair]

Who cares?

[Simon Templar]

Of course, you'll probably laugh and laugh and. Are you Jimmy's sister? Yeah. I thought so. But if you're not his sister, you must be.

[Carol Blair]

Goodbye, Simon. But it is not necessary to blush. I am Jimmy's.

[Simon Templar]

Whoop. Kitty, it's time for bed.

[Carol Blair]

Wife.

[Simon Templar]

You said wife.

[Carol Blair]

Wife. Excuse me. Huh? Hello. A divorce. Not so good. So not here. Monsieur Templar is here. Goodbye. Where's the doorman? I was saying.

[Simon Templar]

You said you were Jimmy's wife.

[Carol Blair]

It's true.

[Simon Templar]

Well, then? If he'd married Carol, it would have also been you.

[Carol Blair]

Go away now. Huh?

[Simon Templar]

Marry last year, not his wife.

[Carol Blair]

I am fine. The lawyers say divorce. Not so good. So now Jimmy marry a rich girl. Maybe Jimmy gives me a big present.

[Simon Templar]

Big present. Here's another name for it is so.

[Carol Blair]

Almost I cry for. You are a funny man.

[Simon Templar]

I haven't been trying.

[Carol Blair]

Maybe you go away now.

[Simon Templar]

Mary, I have news for you.

[Carol Blair]

What kind of news?

[Simon Templar]

Jimmy didn't show up at the altar.

[Carol Blair]

You make the joke once more.

[Simon Templar]

No joke.

[Carol Blair]

He's terrible.

[Simon Templar]

Which means that Jimmy hasn't. We're leaving, Louis.

[Carol Blair]

Except I think of the poor girl who waits at the altar. Almost I cry for her.

[Simon Templar]

Your eyes are dry.

[Carol Blair]

I said almost. Goodbye.

[Simon Templar]

You want to be alone.

[Carol Blair]

From you, yes. Goodbye Also to you.

[Simon Templar]

Bring me in time to say goodbye. Mr. Temple. We're leaving, Louis. Except Marie, if you happen to run into Jimmy.

[Carol Blair]

Yes?

[Simon Templar]

Advise him to be very careful. So to date, he's left one woman at the altar, another in his apartment. It usually is at this time of night. I know about Marie's character. I got nothing to say. But about her figure, I also got nothing to say. You got a pencil and paper? Maybe why is it? It's dark. Yeah, it usually is at this time of night. I know, but it don't hurt to mention it back to the cab. Yeah, I suppose so. Mm. Hey. You templa, huh? Me? Yeah. You've hurt Louie. You wanna get shot? Not if you are. So figure it out. All right. You got a pencil and paper? Maybe. Wise guy. If you don't mind my intruding. I'm Simon Templar. Well, thanks for telling me, Silic. Hey, you can't. I did. Now don't move too quick. Him. Very well. Listen, get in the car. Not just yet. If you've hurt Louie. You want to get shot? Not especially. First I'm going to look at Louie. He's unconscious. Hey, what was the idea? Well, all I wanted was you. So let's get going. Just so happens as president. Wake up. But you won't if you don't get in the car. Very well. Your name would be. You already know mine. Where are we going? That's what you're going to tell me. I am away to visit. Jimmy Snyder told me. Just so happens as present address slips my mind. So give, huh? Or else. No, no. Tonight. We don't play tonight. It's for keeps. You'll be inside in a moment. Nobody likes to die. This is where you live, huh? Not quite yet. Hallways are so drafting, huh? I mean, Snyder's in your apartment. We'll be inside in a moment. Hold it. Hold what? Shut up. Okay. Oops. But he might be along at any moment. Yes. You mean now you've cased the joint? I mean, I wanted to get that light on now. Templar. Yes. I don't see Snyder. You know, now that you mentioned it, I don't see him either. For what? Telly. You really think so? Where is he? I don't know. But he might be along at any moment. Yeah, why not? How would you like a slap in the eye? Put your gun down and try it. Why? Oh, besides, would Marie approve of your language? Safe. I'm the one who gives the orders. And thank you. For what? Telling me that you're the person who spoke to her over the phone a little while ago. Back at Snyder's apartment. It explains how you happened to know I was there. Forget it. Now, what I want to know is when is Snyder gonna sh. I promise, in time you may have lot lady's timetable. Yeah. Or perhaps even his. Hey, Templar. Yes? Are you a dope? Wes Snyder made me ain't gonna show at the beginning. It shows promise. In time, you may have lots of Little thoughts, all your very own eyes that he might be along. I offered no guarantees. Nobody's offered a guarantee on your life. Mushiro sneaked open very, very. Playing me for a dope? Oh, good heaven, no. Are you a dope? Where's Snyder? Well, men who have just been married usually spend the time immediately thereafter. No, no. He ducked the church. That's interesting, but how did you know? I know. Well, I don't take my eyes off you, Mr. Sad. The door behind you is just being sneaked open very, very softly. Huh? Huh? Huh? Oh, I amuse you? You kill me. You're so funny. You're exaggerate. I'm not the one who may kill you someplace else. I am staying right here around the edge of that door. Point of it's aimed at you. Well, I don't take my eyes off you, mister. I don't suppose there's anything I could say that would stop that little stranger from shooting whoever he or she is. I do dislike having my home used as a shooting. So, Mr. Dugan, would you mind going away and being shot someplace else? I am staying right here. Get out of my way. No. Oh, you fool. I want to go after whoever shot you. No, that's a trick. It's some kind. Lieutenant. Yeah? Look. Lieutenant Archer, Homicide. Hello, Lieutenant. This is Simon Temker. Lieutenant Archer Jigs with me when you do. All right, Lieutenant. Lieutenant Archer hasn't got a Nash. He's doing it the hard way. Good night, Lieutenant. Yeah. Look, stop gnashing your teeth and guess what I've got. I wouldn't want it. I'm a married man. His name used to be Dugan. Anthony Dugan. I don't like him. Someone else didn't like him.

I hope not. Maybe she's a stand for Artaxis. A woman who's just been left at the altar never sleeps. No matter. They don't get sleepy. I have nothing but nothing to say to press. Who is he? I don't know. To me he looks like an outfielder. From left field, I might add. Tonight, everybody. Theobald A. Blair. What does the A stand for? Artaxerxes. You may make all the jokes after I shut the door. Good night. We are coming in, Mr. Blair. Thank you. Pushing type? Untrue. Only when necessary. Your car? Yes. How about an offer of employment? And who are you? Simon Templar. This is Louis. Tonight everybody goes. Hmm. Why does he have to use a question mark for me? Your niece asked me to help her. Mr. Blair, Carol is a young idiot. Youth has no monopoly on idiots. But still then you knew. Jimmy was almost squelched. Something that hasn't happened to me in years. How about an offer of employment? The last one I received was in the early 30s. Seems then no one's been vulgar enough to. That is hardly your concern, is it? It might be buzz tested. His mortality. Not here. I beg your pardon? Well, we're men of the world. True, but still. Then you knew Jimmy was married. I. Would you like a spot of something? True. I'm afraid we're temporarily out of that commodity. Dugan is dead, Mr. Blair. Nothing. Nonsense. I wanted Jimmy to infer that thugs like him are mortal. Were you the one who tested his mortality? Oh, he was murdered. No doubt whoever murdered him did so with the best of intentions. It wasn't I. However. You haven't asked me where Jimmy is. You haven't implied. Marie. However. Who? Who now? Of course I do. In order to test his mortality. Nonsense. I wanted Jimmy to marry Carol. Wanted it very badly.

[Carol Blair]

Oh, Mr. Chandler.

[Simon Templar]

Yeah. And Louis? I'm keeping the franchise Open.

[Carol Blair]

Hello, Louis.

[Simon Templar]

Hello. I hope you were. As a matter of fact, she carried it to the Simon.

[Carol Blair]

Have you found Jimmy?

[Simon Templar]

No. I did find Marie, however. Who?

[Carol Blair]

Who is Marie?

[Simon Templar]

Uncle Theobald can tell you. Probably with more details than I would know. Uncle, she. Well, that is, she used to be.

[Carol Blair]

Otherwise why would he have yet one time friendly?

[Simon Templar]

Well, you might say that. As a matter of fact, she carried it to the extent of marrying him.

[Carol Blair]

Oh no, uncle, you're joking.

[Simon Templar]

Now, my dear, perhaps you'd better lie down.

[Carol Blair]

Uncle, I've warned you time and time again, I'm not a child.

[Simon Templar]

I never thought you were. Louis and I have another errand to perform. That Jimmy was married? I'm afraid it is.

[Carol Blair]

But it can't be.

[Simon Templar]

Otherwise why would he have been ready to marry you? But he was under the impression that he'd been divorced from his first wife.

[Carol Blair]

Oh, and the divorce wasn't any good?

[Simon Templar]

So it seems. Jimmy would be the best one to answer that. Which reminds me, Louis and I have another errand to perform.

[Carol Blair]

What errand?

[Simon Templar]

I can't tell as yet whether it would be a matter for the police or for the medical examiner. What is important is the Templar. You're excited. Worried. What about? Marie. That's why we're ringing your doorbell. No answer. It's locked. I don't like that. There's the couch there to this overturned. Don't look now, but you just ruined that lock. It's not important. What is important is. Oh, Marie. Yes. Blood on her nightgown. She's dead. Actually, she torre trail of blood leads from the couch there to this overturned end table. You mean she crawled after whoever shot her left her for dead at the couch. She wasn't quite dead. She fell to the floor, managed to reach. It's a bad joke, but I don't feel good to read a magazine or something because there's one right under her head. Not read, actually. She tore a page out. That's all she was able to do. No writing on it? No. Which means, let's see. One side's the back cover. The other's are connected with the case and watches. Maybe she wanted to know what time it was. It's a bad joke, but I don't feel good. She's evidently trying to tell us something with that ad. Something about her murderer. Hey, maybe the guy who shot her was a watchmaker, huh? Yeah, possibly that. More I want to find out who's husband. So far as we know, there's been no Hamilton connected with with the case. And it would Be stretching coincidence too far. Anyway. Ready made clue like that. Well, I'll have to wait 2. So let's make it the park. I'm calling the Blairs. You want to let Carol know her husband is now a widower. I want to find out who's home. Hello, Carol. Simon Templer.

[Carol Blair]

Simon. You found Jimmy?

[Simon Templar]

Not exactly. Carol, is your uncle in the.

[Carol Blair]

No, he went for a walk.

[Simon Templar]

It's the temple. Come on, Louis. Where we going? We're upset too. So let's make it the park. You know this here, Mr. Templar. You know, I just thought of something else. Suck pa. I'm no fan of Uncle Theo. Mr. Templar. You think there's something phony about him taking a walk this time of night? Phony? Not necessarily. Let's call it dangerous. No, I'm nervous. Let's not. Yeah, Theo bold. So it'd be a watchmaker. That's possible. Mr. Templar. You know, I just thought of something else. You kind of stopped looking for Jimmy Snyder. You think it's. It's hopeless? I don't know. Other things to worry about first for Snyder. If he's urges out in the wrong way.

[Carol Blair]

See you both.

[Simon Templar]

Hey, look up ahead by the side of the road. Yeah. Theobold. Just waiting for the traffic lights to change. Not many cars are driving around through the park this time of night though. But there is one parked down the road a bit. Come on. Yeah. Light bulb. Hello there. Where's the car? Theobol. Theobolt. He ain't heard you. He's out in the wrong way.

[Carol Blair]

Theobol.

[Simon Templar]

The car hit him. No lights. No lights. No play type. Is he dead? Oh, yes. Car just sideswiping. Oh. Hey, Theobald. Hello there. Bad driving? No, no, no. Murderous driving. That car tried to kill you, dearboy. We'll get an ambulance for you. You'll be all right. Oh, he's fainted. Do you have a place of your own besides Carol's house? Oh, yes. I keep a small room. Shabby vanity of mine, but it belongs to me. Where is it? 19 Tennis Place. Fun. He's fainted. Billy, go get help for him. I'll wait till you get back and then. Yeah, and then we'll remember the forgotten man for watches. It seems to point. No. Hmm. This here ain't a very elegant dump. Louis. I'm worried about who's killing everybody. No, I think that's fairly clear. Oh, Mary's dying action. It puzzles me. That ad for watches. It seems to point nowhere. Just adds an unnecessary complication. To me. All complications are unnecessary. You know. Mr. Templer. Maybe what you need is a secretary. What? Well, I said me Snider all tied up and gagged. This is my busy weekend. Please. Here's apartment three. Oh, this is where he hangs out when he ain't being rich. Hey. Yeah, from back there. Oh, don't look now, but that there must be Jimmy Snider all tied up and gagged. You're quite right, Louie. I better untie him. No, Louie. Huh? You better make a phone call. Who to? The police? Mr. Snyder can untie himself without too much difficulty, I suspect. What? I'll take that gun and. Oh, you felt you had to do that. Of course he wasn't tied up very good. No, he. You. But. All right, I'll phone the police. Yeah, but what'll I tell him to come as soon as he'd married juco bridegroome medareth.

[Carol Blair]

Simon, I don't understand. How could it have been Jim Park?

[Simon Templar]

He went to Theobol's apartment and happy little trigger man Dugan were preparing to blackmail him as soon as he'd married you. Cal. Jimmy didn't care for the program and so he killed him. Right, Louis? Your uncle also knew. So that meant that he. He too would have to die. But Jimmy tried to arrive. Likely she would have received any ordinary. It would be an accident. After he ran him down in the park, he went to Theobold's apartment and tied himself up. He knew someone would find him there shortly.

[Carol Blair]

And everybody would have thought that uncle had killed Marie. And Dugan Simon, however did you know killed her?
